Beyond The Divorce - Season 9 Episode 19

As I watched Atlas’s car leave the driveway, I couldn’t help but feel worried.

I had to admit that deep down, I didn’t want Atlas to get too involved with the Huffman family, at least not in a business sense.

But it seemed like the situation was unfolding in the opposite direction.

I just wanted to get rid of this entanglement with Liora quickly, complete the model project in Bourdamun, and bring back my biological father who was still suffering somewhere. Those were my plans.

But fate often has its own plans. I suddenly found myself increasingly intertwined with the Huffman family.

In the living room, the two girls, Ava and Jenny, were busy unpacking the things we had bought.

Arnold was with them, playing and having a great time.

Rose and my mom chatted and smiled while watching them.

I noticed that those two had gotten closer.

When I came down, Rose called me over. My mom asked, “When’s the trial for Matthew’s case?”

I casually replied, “Monday.”

“That’s just three days away,” my mom remarked.

I nodded, but I saw Ava turn her head to look at us.

I glanced at my mom, signaling her not to continue.

Ava was still concerned about Matthew. She seemed indifferent whenever his name was mentioned, but I noticed that she paid close attention to what we said about him. She was good at hiding her emotions. I worried that I might have overlooked her feelings.

Rose understood what I was thinking. She looked at me and said, “That child’s a clever one. If you spend more time with her, you’ll be able to understand what’s going on in her heart.”

I knew that Rose’s experience was valuable. It was a blessing to have her by my side.

When Rose gave me that advice, I realized I had been busy lately and had taken Ava for granted.

She used to stick to me like glue whenever I was home, but now she would go a few days without seeking me out.

As I thought about that, I joined their game, which made Arnold very happy. He played with the kids cheerfully.

I played with Ava until she fell asleep, and only then did I feel relieved.

After freshening up, I called Ivanna to ask if she was going to Bourdamun tomorrow.

She sounded like she had just woken up. She couldn’t stop yawning and said nasally, “What’s up? Whether I go or not is up to you. I haven’t decided yet.”

When I heard

d her say that, I knew

that things weren’t busy in Bourdamun: “Take an extra day off then. Rest at home tomorrow and come with me to a class reunion in the evening. It’s with our college classmates.”

“A class reunion?” She seemed surprised, and said somewhat indifferently, “Are people still doing boring things like that these days?”

“I ran into Michelle, who was in our

dorm, a few days ago. She’s obsessed with this reunion. We need to go,” I said. “I want to gather information about Beatrice. I want to see if anyone’s been able to contact her It’s been years since we heard anything about her.”

Ivanna said, “Did she go back to her hometown? She must not be in Foswood. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen off the radar for so long.”

“I want to see if anyone knows anything,” I explained.

“Okay, I’ll take a day off and come tomorrow, but I’m telling you, don’t expect too much from it. Those who get involved with things like that aren’t serious people. ” Ivanna’s sleepy tone came through.

“Are you still in bed?” I asked casually.

“Yeah! I want to sleep some more. I’m really tired,” She replied lazily.

“Well then, go back to sleep! Have you eaten? Eat something before you go back to sleep,” I ordered.

“I was getting up to pee when you called,” she answered honestly.

I smiled and said, “You’re really something. Go pee, then. Don’t hold it in!”

I laughed as I hung up the phone. That woman really didn’t have a care in the world.

After thinking for a while, I called Johnson and asked about the situation on his end.

He told me that Liora hadn’t been at the company these past few days.

“She’s not at the company?” I said.

“That’s right, it’s been a week. After she got back from Bourdamun, she only showed up once,” Johnson said. Suddenly, at that moment, my heart skipped a beat.
